I have a S3 trio 3d/2x video card, the S3virge driver would not work for this card, 
but it shows as supported. 

I used the vesa driver.

from the /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "Device"
        #### Vesa option #####
        Option "ShadowFB" "boolean"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "vesa"
        VendorName  "S3 Inc."
        BoardName   "86c368 [Trio 3D/2X]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
